A caveman is a prehistoric man who lived in caves. It can also refer to a man whose behavior is uncivilized or violent. There are no famous cavemen as such. However, there are some famous prehistoric men who lived in caves such as the Neanderthals. The caveman is a stock character representative of primitive humans in the Paleolithic. The popularization of the type dates to the early 20th century, when Neanderthals were influentially described as simian or ape-like by Marcellin Boule and Arthur Keith. The Stone Age began about 2.6 million years ago, when researchers found the earliest evidence of humans using stone tools, and lasted until about 3,300 B.C. when the Bronze Age began. During the Bronze Age (about 3,000 B.C. to 1,300 B.C.), metalworking advances were made, as bronze, a copper and tin alloy, was discovered.
